When Crazy is a New Norm

1. The Pokemon Go rush had drove everyone insane, almost. Finally, the technology had broken that threshold, or at least at the most visible level. People are now starting to live in their virtual world. The boundary of reality and virtual reality is fading. We are now looking for Pokemon, Poke-Stop, Pokemon Gym in our common areas. As if all those social medias such as the FaceBook, WeChat, SnapChat, WhatsApp, Twitter have not consume our life enough; and now we have the latest trend, Pokemon Go. 
2. Of course, the goods things are people are going outdoor at least, rather than been a potato couch. Personally, i like this game a lot despite not playing it yet due to the limitation on my museum suited windows phone. By all means, this game will be another sensational games such as the Angry Bird, Clash of Clans, Candy Crush. What really makes this game seems like a real pandemic like threat is the blurring of reality and virtual world.
3. There is no doubt the youngsters nowadays possesses great potential due to better environment and the advancement of technology. Nevertheless, on the other hand, they are also facing great challenges and stress in their daily life. There is huge influx of information everyday, and owing to this, the greater is their need of gratification and weaker is their self-esteem. There are just not enough time left for themselves, to learn and grow, to appreciate who they have become and to be different. Slowly, their sense of identity is engulf and overwhelm by all the trendy things that occurred around them.
4. Perhaps it was the global and inevitable trend. Imaging our lives back then when phone is only for calls or SMS; access to internet is limited, our main leisure is sight seeing, card and board games, and yes, we still write letters to our friends and family.There is a big difference now, in terms of technology advancement. We can video call our friends, we purchase our daily needs over the net, we can place order on the things produce half globe away and expect it to reach within days. My argument has always been that, our mental development is far way behind that the development of infrastructure and technology advancement.
5. By Mental Development, i am referring to one's value of life such as good or bad, right and wrong. In a more spiritual aspects will be our beliefs and ultimately our life purposes.Young children are like a piece of untainted paper. As we adults immerse ourselves in our life to provide, we left the school to do the necessary teaching which is greatly insufficient. The values and our virtues has to be instill by family institution and via our religious center. 
6. It is only by stressing on one's mental development, we can ensure our next generation can cope with this ultra realistic world, to have a healthy and fulfilling life, to both understand and seek for understanding from others, and ultimately to a better future for our next generation.
